They do show some signs of light use, nothing is worn-out, broken or unsafe to ride. So if you don’t care to much for the original, don’t expect to care too much for this thinking it will be a vanilla bomb.Please note these are bikes from our Demo Fleet! These bikes have been professionally maintained for their entire life. It’s not bad, but not much different than the original. Overall, I expected more vanilla and oak out of this. Some dryness from the oak, but no real oak character other than that. Eventually turns to a creamier/silkier feel. Mouthfeel has a sharpness with the bitter hops. Bitter bakers chocolate element in there. I honestly don’t think it would be picked up if not noted. Vanilla is in there, but very slightly so. The taste comes in with those burnt, roasty malts playing off of the resin/bitter hop presence. Not picking up much vanilla or oak at this point. Burnt, roasty malts mixing with bitterness. The nose brings the huge hop presence that I recognize from the original yeti. It forms a one finger, dense and creamy, caramel colored crown. bottle into a snulip glass, this beer pours out black with minimal brown highlights.

Finish was dry, perhaps a bit drier than the style might call for, but no problem on my end. Phew! It seems as though I picked a winner for Stout Day. I tasted it almost immediately! It not only lent the beer a woody/wooden quality, but it also added a marshmallow taste along with or in CANjunction with the vanilla. They did not need to put anything in that regard on the label for me. The taste had a beautiful coffee-like roastiness along with a slight sweet vanilla flavor to round the edges, but it was the oak that really stole the show. Mouthfeel was big, thick & full, like a liquefied brownie in my mouth. I remember my maternal uncle & his fellow home vintner, Jack Fleiner, playing around with oak chips back in the late-1980s & thinking what an impact it had on their "fine wines". Nose smelled really good with the oak aging playing a real part in it, along with the standard chocolaty-smoky quality of Yeti. Once it finally settled, color was Black/Opaque (SRM = 44), allowing ZERO light penetration. I was really heartened when it performed a pseudo-cascade that ended up forming two-plus fingers of dense, foamy, rocky, deep-tan/light-brown head with great retention. This beast may be refined, nut it's anything but tame."Īfter Crack!ing open the vent on this massive 568-ml CAN, I beCAN a slow, gentle C-Line Glug into the awaiting glass. Sweet vanilla melds perfectly with the influence of French and American oak, enhancing the signature bold, roasty character of our classic imperial stout.

Happy International Stout Day (2019) to everyone from The CANQuest (tm)!įrom the CAN: "Vanilla Oak Aged Yeti needs no frillsor exotic ingredients, but instead applies a more sophisticated approach to differentiation. However, the Yeti rarely disappoints if ever. Very nice stout, but seems to have lost it's vanilla edge. Aftertaste gets into more roast but also bitterness that gets hints of clove, and particularly some black pepper quality too. Rich roasted char particularly, almost flirts with charcoal mixing with a light hop bitterness and dark chocolate finish. Still the mid palate provides lots of classic and great stout flavors. The mouthfeel for oak comes a little weak and doesn't give the impression of long aged or a great depth, but just a solid basic one. Real nice bright hop and char bitterness on first sip. Palate just gets the job done, but stays away from exotics. Hints a little spicy also, and a real nice experience. Does have that milky vanilla sweetness, but has much more coffee tones and machiato like milk than vanilla. Rich roast malt notes, hints faint coffee, but an excellent round oak flavor and soft sweetness.

Real neato! Body is super dark walnut brown and nearly black, not a hint of light getting through this at all.
#Dark and light taming yeti plus
Creamy and billowing large at three plus fingers height, it has a mocha light brown color and even dare I say looks slightly orange as well. Poured from the can into a teku style glass.
